I believe self-awareness, compassion, and connection are the keys to healing and change.  Therefore, I take an empathic, systemic approach with clients to help them better understand how their past informs their present to help them reclaim their life and become their most authentic self.

Through experiencing the healing power of counseling myself, I became committed to the idea of supporting others in their journey towards growth and healing. I obtained my Bachelor’s in Psychology at Texas Christian University and am a graduate of the University of North Texas’ Master’s in Counseling program, with a Marriage & Family focus.

Throughout my years of practice, I have pursued and participated in trainings, specifically focused on trauma, relationships, and healthy communication.  I am specialized in working with clients through stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family-of-origin issues, identity development through life-transition (i.e. pre/post college, break-ups, new relationships, family conflict, etc.), and self-esteem issues like shame, perfectionism, and codependency.  I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and combine traditional talk therapy with EMDR to address trauma, the nervous system, and emotional regulation. I am also trained in the Gottman Method (Level 1 & Level 2) which I use with couples in pre-engagement and pre-marital seasons, in addition to committed couples who feel disconnected, or are facing a challenging transition together.
